Yes! And bizarrely enough, dramamine less drowsy (meclazine) fixed me!

I need the bubble to pop before then.

School of the latest fad, you mean

Kathleen Bachynski @bachynski.bsky.social · 1d

SILS faculty says they “were told the new school will be “operational” by July 1, 2026. The University has not released a formal timeline.

The faculty member wrote that Roberts pushed for the new school despite lacking a “cogent idea” as to what the “School of AI” will entail, teach and stand for.”

UNC schools of data science and information science to merge, forming unnamed ‘School of AI’

SDSS Dean Stanley Ahalt will be made dean of the new school while SILS Dean Jeffrey Bardzell will stand as the University’s Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer and Vice Provost for AI.

I was thrilled when mine put library back in to the degree name… I hope they don’t get any ideas

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

Girlfriend is so good!

Jenne (she/her) 🦅 @jenne.myatproto.social · 1d

She was always my favorite and I always felt like that made me an outlier. (I also love her voice.)

Jenne (she/her) 🦅 @jenne.myatproto.social · 1d

I’m not published and have been working on the same novel for way too long… but several of my favorite authors publish up to four a year and have been for a long time. I’ve also seen them in person and followed their socials for years, so I trust them.

Elise (they/them)🇦🇺 @eliseswritings.bsky.social · 1d

Authors, in the interest of helping readers spot gen ai 'authored' books, how many novels do you publish a year?

I publish one 80-100k+ word (epic fantasy) novel, and I can only do that because I drafted 8 novels before I started publishing any. 📚💙

Black labs are the best! So much drama!

Jenne (she/her) 🦅 @jenne.myatproto.social · 1d

Yeah, nah. Good for them turning down the “donations.” I don’t care what they do with their blood money, I’m still never watching the few I respected before this ever again.

And we weren't stealing Bon Jovi's music and lyrics and claiming we had created them.

Absolutely brilliant.

I would ask what's wrong with Shapiro, but, NPR's gonna NPR

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

The irony of “attention snowflakes: this is not a safe space” from people who ruin others’ careers and lives because they don’t want to acknowledge the rights of others to exist.

That book was the last King book I read for DECADES. I had read every one of his books before that. I read that and was DONE with King.
